Hi everyone, I’ve tried to build GNRadio 3.7.2.1 from source, when I came to make step I’ve received two strange error, you find hereafter what it looks like: * * * [13%] Generating python docstrings for pmt\_swig\_doc Traceback (most recent call last): File “xxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/swig\_doc.py”, line 328, in make\_swig\_interface\_file(di, swigdocfilename, custom\_output=custom\_output) File “xxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/swig\_doc.py”, line 251, in make\_swig\_interface\_file blocks = di.in\_category(Block) File “xxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/doxyxml/base.py”, line 140, in in\_category self.confirm\_no\_error() File “xxxxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/doxyxml/base.py”, line 206, in confirm\_no\_error self.check\_parsed() File “xxxxxxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/doxyxml/base.py”, line 203, in check\_parsed self.\_parse() File “xxxxxxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/doxyxml/doxyindex.py”, line 54, in \_parse self.\_members += converted.members() File “xxxxxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/doxyxml/base.py”, line 174, in members self.confirm\_no\_error() File “xxxxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/doxyxml/base.py”, line 206, in confirm\_no\_error self.check\_parsed() File “xxxxxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/doxyxml/base.py”, line 203, in check\_parsed self.\_parse() File “xxxxxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/doxyxml/doxyindex.py”, line 238, in \_parse self.retrieve\_data() File “xxxxxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/docs/doxygen/doxyxml/base.py”, line 193, in retrieve\_data filename = os.path.join(self.\_xml\_path, self.refid + ‘.xml’) File “/usr/lib64/python2.7/posixpath.py”, line 80, in join path += ‘/’ + b UnicodeDecodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t decode byte 0xc3 in position 17: ordinal not in range(128) make[2]: \*\*\* [gnuradio-runtime/swig/pmt\_swig\_doc.i] Erreur 1 make[1]: \*\*\* [gnuradio-runtime/swig/CMakeFiles/pmt\_swig\_swig\_doc.dir/all] Erreur 2 make: \*\*\* [all] Erreur 2 * * * Could someone help me fix this ?

Thanks. Hmm, that’s a new one. Wish it was more clear where the bug was coming from in the doc files. But instead of trying to debug it, just turn off the Doxygen build by passing cmake ‘-DENABLE\_DOXYGEN=False’ and then rebuild. You can always get to the manual here: > **[GNU Radio Manual and C++ API Reference: Main Page](https://www.gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/)** And for 3.7.2: > **[GNU Radio 3.7.2 C++ API: Main Page](https://www.gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen-3.7.2/)** Tom ---

Thank you Tom, I really appreciate your help. I tried again the cmake and turning off the docs, but I got another encoding error, when I took a look at the source file, I found that the reason of this is actually a non utf-8 character in my path to the source file, so I changed the source file path and all things went good till the installation ! Well, when I came to the “make install” I received the following error: * * * /bin/sh: ligne 0 : cd: xxxxxxxxxxxx/gnuradio-3.7.2/build: N’est pas un dossier make[2]: \*\*\* [volk/lib/CMakeFiles/volk.dir/depend] Erreur 1 make[1]: \*\*\* [volk/lib/CMakeFiles/volk.dir/all] Erreur 2 make: \*\*\* [all] Erreur 2 * * * I really don’t understand what does it mean that “xxxxxx/build” is not a directory ! – View this message in context: [http://gnuradio.4.n7.nabble.com/Building-error-of-GNURadio-3-7-2-tp48375p48394.html](http://gnuradio.4.n7.nabble.com/Building-error-of-GNURadio-3-7-2-tp48375p48394.html) Sent from the GnuRadio mailing list archive at [Nabble.com](http://Nabble.com). ---

What are the permissions of the prefix directory you’re trying to install into? It’s possible you’ll need “sudo make install”. Tom ---

Actually I’ve used “sudo make install”, and the prefix is the default one “/usr/local/”, I’m now trying to move the source file to /var/tmp and recompile it with root privileges !
